Rainer TammerHello, please could you add this to bleed and maint-5.10 ? It's only a documentation fix and a formating cleanup... this should not break anything :-)) Thanks very much. Bye Rainer Dave Mitchell wrote:

Merijn BroerenI get one test failure : Failed 1 test out of 1663, 99.94% okay. ../lib/parent/t/parent-pmc.t which is most likely due to the fact that I compiled it with -DPERL_DISABLE_PMC. Cheers, -- Merijn Broeren | We take risks, we know we take them. Therefore, when things

Merijn BroerenI submitted a patch through perlbug just now. I looked at the best way to skip this test but there doesn't seem to be a nice flag in Config. Checking other tests I found only one related to this flag (ther e might be more of course), t/comp/require.t. I adapted the code from that test to skip the parent-pmc tests in the patch that follows. I'm not sure skipping is the best solution, but it seems reasonable to do so for this test if pmc files are disabled. We disable them to gain a small

Yes, I discovered this yesterday, and I've mailed a proposed patch forthat test to Max Maischein.

Tom HukinsReading through its perldelta on search.cpan, I noticed a strange link: http://search.cpan.org/~dapm/perl-5.10.1-RC2/pod/perl5101delta.pod#DTrace_support The 'See "DTrace support" in INSTALL' link ends up at: http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-drizzle-0.300/lib/DBD/drizzle/INSTALL.pod#DTrace_support Arguably, this quirk needs fixing on search.cpan itself, but many people read Perl's documentation this way. Given that INSTALL only ships with Perl's source, the link won't go anywhere meaningful

Given that INSTALL only ships with Perl's source, the link won't goanywhere meaningful for most people. I suggest keeping the text as-isbut removing the link. Or maybe the link could go somewhere moresuitable.

Thanks for spotting this. I've removed the link as the easiest workaround.

Nicholas ClarkAll work's code works. (Which pulls in endless amounts of CPAN). This isn't a fair comparison, but it seems to be about 10% faster than the 5.8.8 we're running on currently. It's not fair because I took the opportunity of this complete build from scratch to build without threads, without mathoms, and with -DPERL_DISABLE_PMC. Nicholas Clark
